Shared bicycle business model is easy to replicate, however it is suggested that Internet shared bicycle mobile operator can help the bike sharing service provider to contact local government / public authorities to get their support. SOLUTION INTRODUCTION:

Shared bicycle is very popular today. With NB-IoT embedded, you can easily use your PROPOSED PARTNER LIST: phone to find an available bike nearby, pick it up, get where you're going, and leave it there for the next person. No docking stations, no walking the rest of the way. By using shared bicycle, people don't have to take car for short distance trips. It helps 1. MOBIKE reduce the carbon emission, reduce the traffic, and save gasoline. Mobike, founded and owned by Beijing Mobike Technology Co., Ltd., is a fully station-less bicycle-sharing system headquartered in Beijing, China. It is the world's largest bicycle operator, and in December 2016, made Shanghai the world's largest bike-share city. In June 2017, Mobike raised $600 million in Series E funding led by Tencent, bringing the firm's fund raising in 2017 alone to nearly US$1 billion. In the same month, the company was valued at US$3 billion. Currently Mobike operates in over 160 cities in China and in 6 markets outside of China, which include but are not limited to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Ningbo, Xiamen, Foshan, Zhuhai, Changsha, Hefei, Shantou, Haikou, Deyang, Nanning, Guiyang, Xi'an, Wenzhou, Wuhan and Singapore, UK, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, USA. NB-IoT is used to provide connectivity between the bike lock and the application server, so that the lock can synchronize with the server various information such as the lock states, the bike’s geography location and the password. 2. OFO Compared to GSM technology which was the previous technology used for shared Founded in 2014, ofo is the world’s first bicycle-sharing platform. ofo first began bicycle, NB-IoT has outstanding performance advantages in terms of coverage, its shared bicycle business in Peking University, then extended its service from capacity and power consumption. With NB-IoT, one battery can keep a bicycle campus to urban areas. Now it has 200 million users, its business covers 180 cities connected for 2-3 years and there is no need for any external power supply facilities. in 17 countries, including: China, Singapore, UK (London, Oxford, Cambridge), US (Seattle, Washington, Worcester), (Astana), Malaysia (Malacca), Thailand (Bangkok, Phuket), (Vienna), Japan (Tokyo, Osaka), Russia BUSINESS MODEL: (Moscow), the Czech Republic (Prague), Italy (Milan), the (Groningen, Rotterdam), Australia (Adelaide), (Madrid), (Lisbon), Israel (Tel Aviv).

Smart white goods BUSINESS MODEL:

SOLUTION INTRODUCTION:

The existing smart white goods use Wi-Fi and suffer from many drawbacks such as complex configurations, limited coverage, and poor mobility. The locations and status of white goods from factories to households cannot be monitored and unauthorized transshipment cannot be detected. Due to limited coverage of Wi-Fi, frequently disconnected white goods lead to low network access rate. Statistics show that the online availability of smart white goods drops to less than 5% after three years. Such situation negatively impacts the benefits of smart white goods. The business model is traditional B2B2C. The mobile operators provide SIM cards to white goods providers, and white goods manufacturers produce the smart white goods and sell them to the end customers. The white goods providers pay the first 3 years of communication data traffic fees to the operators when they sell these products. Three years later if the end customers still want to use the NB-IoT connectivity service then they can easily pay the data traffic fees via a smartphone application.
